In the US for the past 5+ years Xfinity/Comcast, Charter, and whatever CenturyLink is called these days have all heavily pushed the "self-install kit" option vs traditional tech install each time I've moved. Worked 4&#x2

If you decide to dual boot: https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat I run this as the first step on any new Win 11 machine, the recommended defaults remove nearly all annoyances I care about. It's a popular tool

Nice, that makes sense. I'm always curious when I hear about other giant Excel monoliths still in use if they're truly a huge tangled web of formulas, or more like a VB6 program stapled to some worksheets that can be distributed a

Any VBA? I help out with an extremely complex 15+ yr old Excel workbook designed for managing school debate tournaments that's still in active use in the PNW debate world but the complexity is 90% from VBA. It does inject Excel formula

Aurora Store is a nearly perfect 1:1 replacement for the Play Store. I just wish they had slightly more clear error messages when downloads don't work (but typically just means the Play Store wouldn't have shown as available for t

Yeah, I've been using Claude and Codex to create bespoke systemd services for my random tools and automation stuff and have been really impressed by how easy it is and how rock solid they are once setup. It's really nice not livin

Yeah my parents never really cared enough to explore ChatGPT despite hearing about it 10 times a day in news/media for the last few years. But recently my mom started using Google's AI Search mode after first trying it while doing

Gemini CLI via a Google One plan is the regular consumer billing flow which is pretty straightforward.

Sure, you can always remove it, but an average person posting AI images on Facebook or whatever probably won't bother. I was skeptical of Google's SynthID when I first heard about it but I've been seeing it used to identify s

I also get confused when I see it taken for granted that "vibe coding" removes all the drudgery/chores from programming. When my own experience heavily using Claude Code/etc every day routinely involves a lot of unpleasa

IMHO your comment would have been far more constructive if you actually explained what "copium factory" is supposed to mean in this context. As it stands I literally have no idea what you are trying to say except for the broad dis

Yep, I have a bunch of those audio extractors, they're awesome. In my home office setup I even have an HDMI output that's mirrored to several screens and extract audio at various points along the same path (two using the dedicated

Every link in the "Legal" tree is a dead end redirecting back to the home page... strange thing to put together without any acknowledgement, unless they spam it on LLM adjacent subreddits for clout/karma?

I use OpenCode as my main CLI tool at this point, falling back to Claude Code and Codex as needed. It's really solid these days, highly recommend. I use Claude Sonnet 4.5, Gemini 3 Pro Preview, and GPT 5/5-mini with great results

I wouldn't describe most of Claude's predictions as better, they seem to skew towards wildly over optimistic futurism/science-fantasy: "SpaceX announces Mars City Alpha is now self-sustaining (spacex.com)" S

At least in my case, the "pinpoint accuracy" of that roast made for a pretty uninspired result, it seemed to be based on like 4 or 5 specific comments seemingly chosen at random. Like, I definitely have not spent 20% of my time

Android on an e-reader unlocks so much potential. I've owned four or five Kindles over the years but recently switched to an Onyx Boox page 7" as my main e-reader. Expensive (relative to Kindles) but runs full Android 11 and has

Anthropic's incessant cuts to CC rate limits/quota on the Claude Pro plan have nearly pushed me to cancel. If anything they're far ahead of Google on the enshittification schedule (who still give out API keys for free Gemini

I went from: 1. using Claude Code exclusively (back when it really was on another level from the competition) to 2. switching back and forth with CC using the Z.ai GLM 4.6 backend (very close to a drop-in replacement these days) due

I largely agree with this advice but in practice using Claude Code / Codex 4+ hours a day, it's not always that simple. I have a .NET/React/Vite webapp that despite the typical stack has a lot of very specific business l

What is special/unusual that makes this so significant? (Not trying to be dismissive, legitimately asking in case I'm missing something) I understand it's not a system prompt so there's some novelty there I suppose. Is i

Yes, if you try using Kilo Code/Cline via Openrouter the cost will be much cheaper using Deepseek/Kimi vs Claude Sonnet 4.5.
